# Manchester United: Red Devils sell Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan

**Inter Milan have signed Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United on a three-year deal, [reports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12043323/alexis-sanchez-joins-inter-milan-on-three-year-deal-from-manchester-united) say.**

Sanchez, 31, has spent the past season on loan at the San Siro since joining the Serie A side in [August 2019](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084). The [132-cap](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084) Chile international scored four goals for Antonio Conte’s side in all competitions.

Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer [confirmed](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084) he will move to Milan on a permanent deal.

Speaking after United’s Europa League win over LASK, [Solskjaer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084) said the deal would be announced today.

According to the [BBC’s Simon Stone](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084), Inter expect to be able to use him for the Europa League last eight. Goals from former Premier League players Romelu Lukaku and Christian Eriksen saw the Nerazzurri reach the [quarter-finals](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51828527) on Wednesday night.

“I can confirm that he’s agreed and we’ve agreed,” [Solskjaer said](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12043284/alexis-sanchez-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-confirms-inter-milan-move). “Alexis enjoyed his time there.

“They’ve liked him, so of course that’s a good move for him. Wish him all the best. He’s a top player, that we want to see play his best football.

“For whatever reason we didn’t see the best of Alexis, but he’s a top professional and we just wish him all the best.”

The Chilean will receive a payout from [the Red Devils](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12043284/alexis-sanchez-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-confirms-inter-milan-move) for cancelling his contract at Old Trafford, which still has two years left to run in theory.

His departure will bring to an end the long-running saga which has plagued the club’s executive vice-chairman [Ed Woodward](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1175139/Manchester-United-Ed-Woodward-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-news) for years.

United beat [Manchester City](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084) to his signature, signing him from Arsenal on a four-and-a-half year deal with [wages](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53670084) worth £400,000-a-week.

Sadly Sanchez failed to live up to expectations, having only scored [five goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexis-sanchez/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/40433) in 45 games for the Red Devils, and the board will be glad to get him off the books for good.

The veteran was involved in a bust-up with academy graduate Mason Greenwood during pre-season training ([The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9713235/alexis-sanchez-mason-greenwood-bust-up-man-utd/)).

However, Sanchez has shown early signs of a revival under Conte, scoring in the [3-0](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexis-sanchez/leistungsdaten/spieler/40433) victory over Genoa last month.

Regardless, finally ridding themselves of a player who has done more harm than good could pave the way for United to sign Solskjaer’s top target [Jadon Sancho](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12043284/alexis-sanchez-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-confirms-inter-milan-move) instead.
